The Elegance of the Hedgehog is at #9 on the
New York Times Top Ten bestseller list this week.
This month, Muriel Barbery's sumptuous novel celebrates twelve months in English in Alison Anderson's fantastic translation, thirty-five weeks on the NYT bestseller list, half a million copies in print, and, above all, an appreciative readership numbering in the hundred of thousands.
Many thanks to the readers and booksellers who have given Hedgehog such a warm reception and contributed to this extraordinary word-of-mouth success.
